The post-game thread on r/CFB is about 95% filled with fans from teams all over the country--including MSU, ND, and yes even some OSU--talking about how badly the referees screwed Michigan in this game. So this isn't sour grapes, the whole nation knows this was stolen from us.

I had to go to Arborland today for something unrelated and it actually seemed like a normal day. I didn't go anywhere near Briarwood, but if I didn't already know it's Black Friday I wouldn't have been able to tell.

Upholding a proud tradition. In 1909, 250 to 400 (reports vary) of the crew of the USS Michigan (BB-27), which was docked at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, went to Franklin Field to cheer on Yost's Wolverines as they upset mighty Penn 12-6. Penn was the defending national champion and was on a 23-game winning streak.

They're not awful, but I don't really like the white pants. Also, I'm not sure throwing back to 1974 & 1975 is the best choice, since both years Michigan lost to OSU and finished second in the conference.

For Orem, I bet he either wears a Jim McMahon or Steve Young jersey since the town borders Provo and they both played at BYU. He played with McMahon in Chicago and has the Niners connection with Young.

Irving K. Pond left a much greater legacy than scoring the first Michigan touchdown. He became a very successful architect, and his firm Pond and Pond designed and built the student union buildings at Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue, and Kansas. On the UM campus they also did the League and the Student Publications Building.

Very occasionally. Oklahoma sometimes has their student band play when they make the WCWS, but Michigan is the only school with a dedicated band. This was the Alumni Band's 19th season playing for Michigan Softball.

I know he's in the neighborhood south of Geddes and bordered by Washtenaw on the south/west and Huron Parkway on the east. Is that Arbor Hills? Like you said, really nice neighborhood, but not ostentatious.
